The 5 toughest problems companies are facing this year managing employee productivity - and how Time Tracking Buddy can solve each one
1. An employee looks busy, but his or her productivity is not meeting expectations
Time Tracking Buddy can provide the manager with visibility into the employee's daily actions, to determine:
- Is the employee working enough?
- Is he/she working on the right things?
- Is he/she getting hung up on a particular task?
2. The root causes of low productivity are unknown for a workgroup
Here we extend the data that is collected on each individual employee, and combine it so that we can pinpoint the root causes of low productivity for the aggregate workgroup.
3. Organizations do not have productivity metrics established.
Currently, organizations have a reasonably good handle on employee output, but a vague idea at best about the input that results in the level of output they see. By adding the input side of the equation, organizations can measure productivity as a function of output divided by input, and can answer the following key questions:
- What is the true incremental benefit of adding headcount?
- Do we need to add headcount, or do our current employees just need to become more effective?
- Who are the most productive employees, and how can we leverage their best practices to teach the rest of the group?
4. Employees do not have the tools to gauge and improve their own productivity.
Many people do not have an accurate idea of how they spend their day. Most people do not devote enough time to their highest priority activities, and are often distracted by non-productive activities such as internet surfing and obsessive e-mail monitoring. Time Tracking Buddy can provide employees with an accurate picture of how they've been spending their time, so that they can make the changes necessary to improve their personal productivity.
5. Contractor and vendor billing is not verified.
Time Tracking Buddy can be installed on contractor and vendor workstations to verify that they have worked every hour they are billing you for.
